ORIGINATOR: Schreiner INTRODUCED: 1954 CLASS: Tall Bearded HEIGHT: 38" BLOOM SEASON: Mid to Late DESCRIPTION: White self; tangerine-red beards. PARENTAGE: Sdlg: (Inspiration x (SQ72 X Matula) x Cherry Flip AWARDS: HM'56 INTERESTING INFO: From the 1954 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: Nature likes to keep one jump ahead of us. Thus Iris hybridizing has its surprises, of which this pure, glowing white out of two flamingo pinks is certainly one! The exhuberantly rich tangerine-red beard provides a note of sheer distinction as contrasty as curry powder or paprika on a bowl of fluffy, snow-white rice. Named for the daughter and model of the great colorist, Titian. |
